The Final score was 13-0 Pride with the only points of the game coming on an Omar Palmer kick off return for a TD and a 60 yard bomb from QB Brenden Pearson to rookie WR Kendall Robinson.

Week 3 saw the Pride in their first home game of 2008 vs. the Steel City United. This game was all Pride. The defense pitched its’ 2nd consecutive shut out and the offense put up 27 points. This game was a display of the Pride’s deep roster. Every Pride Player saw playing time and contributed to the team’s success. “This game belonged to the offensive line” said Coach Rich. “Those guys got it done today”. Coach Rich went on to say that he is happy to be reunited with Defensive Coach Dorian “Doc” Russell. “Doc and I have had success together in the past…lets face it, our offense can put up points and the defense doesn’t give up many. If that isn’t a formula for success, I don’t know what is”. The Pride defense has played an incredible 10 consecutive quarters of football without giving up a single point.

Next up for the Pride….A home game at Plum High School Stadium vs. the 0-3 New York State Lions. The Pride enter this week as the #2 ranked team in the league, behind the reigning National Champion Lima Warriors.
